북방종개 Iksookimia pacifica의 생태적 특성을 밝히기 위하여 강원도 고성군 북천에서 서식지 특성 및 섭식생태를 조사하였다. 북방종개는 하천형이 Bb 또는 Bc형이고 유속이 느리고 모래가 쌓인 소에 주로 서식하고 있었다. 연령별 서식지 선호도를 조사한 결과, 하상은 모두 모래를 동일하였으나 수심과 유속에서는 차이를 보였다. 수심은 당년생 (0+) $24.9{\pm}17.61cm$, 1년생 $69.6{\pm}30.32cm$, 2년생 $82.4{\pm}33.30cm$, 3년생 이상 $90.0{\pm}31.55cm$로 급격히 깊어졌으며, 유속은 당년생과 1년생이 3.8~4.0 cm/sec, 2년생과 3년생 이상이 6.0~7.3 cm/sec로 약간 빨라지는 경향을 보였다. 3월부터 11월까지 모래위에서 활동하였으나 12월부터 2월까지 모래 속에서 월동하였으며, 주요 활동시간은 12시부터 24시까지로 활발한 활동과 많은 섭식량을 보였다. 먹이생물을 상대중요성지수 (IRI)로 분석한 결과 깔다구과 (Chironomidae)가 76.7%, 먹파리과 (Simuliidae) 10.3%, 윤충강 (Rotatoria) 7.3%, 꽃병벌레과 (Arcellidae) 2.2% 등의 순으로 중요한 먹이생물이었다. 당년생 치어 (전장 20~40 mm)는 크기가 작은 윤충강과 꽃병벌레과를 많이 섭식하였으나 이후 연령이 높아지면서 이들의 비율은 적어지고 비교적 크기가 큰 깔다구과와 먹파리과를 주로 섭식하였다.

Larvae and pupae of Simulium (Eusimulium) satsumense were collected and recorded from Korea for the first time. Detailed descriptions and photographs of both immatures are provided. Currently, 42 species are known from the subgenus Eusimulium, which is found globally, mainly in the Holarctic Region, but unknown from Korea. Members of the subgenus Eusimulium are morphologically homogeneous in male, female, and pupa, making them extremely difficult to distinguish from one another. S. (E.) satsumense can be distinguished from other Korean black flies by the following combination of the characteristics: Pupa: Gill of four slender filaments, dorsalmost filament strongly divergent from other filaments; cocoon slipper shaped without anterodorsal projection; Larva: Head spots distinctly positive; postgenal cleft short, apically rounded or squared; antenna with proximal segment brown; abdominal segments IX with prominent ventral tubercles; and rectal papillae of three simple lobes. In addition to descriptions for larvae and pupae of the species, a key to genera and subgenera of Simulium of Korean black flies are also provided.

Morphological features of larvae and pupae of twelve species of Simulium (Simulium) from Korea are investigated and redescribed. Detailed descriptions of immature stages of each species are provided with photographs. For the Korean members of subgenus Simulium, combinations of the following characteristics can be used to separate them from other Korean subgenera: larval abdomen without a pair of conical-shaped ventral tubercles; postgenal cleft variously shaped, viz., miter shaped, spearhead, bullet shaped or triangular; rectal papillae 3 simple lobe or compound lobes; pupal gill of 6-16 filaments; cocoon shoe, boot or slipper shaped; and head trichomes 3 pairs (1 facial+2 frontal). Habitat information and other ecological aspects of each species are provided. Updated keys to larvae and pupae of the Korean species of the subgenus Simulium are also provided to facilitate species identification. Taxonomic treatment based on external morphologies of larvae and pupae of Korean species of the subgenus Simulium are focused and included in this study. To understand their interspecific relationships, phylogenetic analyses using multiple data from molecule, morphology, and ecology are warranted in future research. Also continued exploration for new character systems is needed to establish more stable boundaries for subgenus and species delimitations.

Larvae, pupae, and adults reared from the pupae of Simulium (Boreosimulium) konoi were collected and recorded from Korea for the first time. I provide detailed descriptions of both immatures and adults accompanied with photographs. The subgenus Boreosimulium, previously unknown from Korea, contains 19 species in 3 species-groups worldwide and only 2 species, viz, S. (B.) konoi and S. (B.) tokachiense, are recorded from Japan. Simulium konoi is unique among the members of the subgenus by having water dropshaped denticles on the anterior portion of the cibarium in females, which is considered as an autapomorphic character so far not found in other black flies, W or inverted V-shaped ventral plate of male genitalia, and larval thorax and abdominal segments covered with short black setae. Korean specimens of S. konoi collected from two adjacent localities can readily be recognized by denticles on the cibarium in females and well-developed ventral plate of male genitalia but showed geographical variation, e.g., lacking ventral tubercle on larval abdominal segment IX. Due to the autapomorphy and other characters found in S. konoi, the current placement of the S. konoi in the subgenus Boreosimulium or species-group assignment is tentative.

Larva and pupae of Prosimulium kiotoense and larvae of Twinnia japonensis were collected and reported from Korea for the first time. The genus Prosimulium, previously unknown from Korea, contains 80 species worldwide and 8 species are known in Japan. Species are separated into 3 species groups; hirtipes species-group (47 spp.), macropyga species-group (14 spp.) and magnum species-group (19 spp.), with which P. kiotoense belongs to the hirtipes species-group. The genus Twinnia, also previously unknown from Korea, contains only 10 species worldwide. In this study, I provide detailed descriptions and photographs of larvae and pupae P. kiotoense and larvae T. japonensis. Prosimulium kiotoense is characterized by pupa with gill of 16 filaments, cocoon amorphous and entirely covers the pupal body, head and thorax densely covered with microtubercles, larva with postgenal cleft apically straight, and hypostomal teeth with median tooth prominent. On the other hand, larva of T. japonensis can be characterized by labral fan absent, gill histoblast with 16 filaments, and hypostomal teeth with median tooth distinctly shorter than other teeth. In addition to descriptions for each species, a key to Korean Prosimulium and Twinnia is provided, with reference to the Japanese species and habitat information.

Adults of Prosimulium kiotoense and Twinnia japonensis were collected and reported from Korea for the first time. Since adult black flies are notorious for morphological homogeneity particularly in female, larval and pupal characters have been mainly used to identify them. Adults of P. kiotoense can be identified by the following combination of characteristics: Adult, wing with radial sector (Rs) branched into R²⁺³ and R⁴⁺⁵; hind leg basitarsus without calcipala; first tarsomere without pedisulcus. Female, claw without basal thumblike lobe; hypogenial valve elongate, convex, heavily sclerotized medially, posterior end touching each other, space between valves rhomboid. Male, claw with basal thumblike lobe; ventral plate keel shaped; gonostylus with 2-3 spinules. Adults and pupa of T. japonensis can be identified by the following combination of characteristics: Adult, antenna with 7 flagellomeres. Female, hypogenial valve broad, posterior end of valve not touching each other; cercus elongate, subquadrate; spermatheca slightly wider and long, round. Male, claw with basal thumblike lobe; gonostylus with 1 spinule; ventral plate flat. Pupa, gill of 16 filaments, arising from 3 swollen stalks; abdominal tergites without spine combs except tergites III and IV with small recurved hooks; terminal spine well developed, wavy shaped.
